Airport 80?
Supposedly, the bids are about to come out sending up to 80 people from Patrol to the airports. The word is currently 40 bid, 40 management.
Pardon us, but where the hell are we finding 80 bodies for the airports? We just got how many recruits? 86 or so? Now we're taking 80 bodies and sending them to the airport?
We know we're short. We know Maurer embarrassed Shortshanks. We know that O'Hare is running midnights with one single officer some evenings. We also know that the Districts, already undermanned by thousands, can little afford 80 more bodies. We need a hiring wave and that ain't coming any time soon either.
We're robbing Peter to pay Paul once again. And Peter's broke.

I have 40 yrs otj. Think Ill make the bid to Ohare????
Jimmy Mauer's tales are being heard loud and clear! There is NO MANPOWER!
Just wait until the next scandals break in the upcoming months.
Daley is DOOMED!
The Fed's gave the City cash to pay for up to 50 P.O.'s to be hired and sent to the airports. Since we have a contract that says the new guy has to bid as well for these spots it will not be PPO's heading that way.
are they on the 40-2 schedule?
We need more POs. What we need far more is a total house cleaning of the command staff. We need to get rid of some units and combine others. The bosses need to learn how to manage more than a couple of people. The dept needs officers in the districts, detectives, and sgts. We don't need more bosses and more units. Everyone on the job knows this including J Fraud.
Unfortunately nothing will change. Should a scandal happen the boss of the area of where it happens will be the only victim. The CPD is just another place for the politicos and ruling class to put their people and give them a nice check for kissing ass.
80 cops at O'Hare?
Heck I have yet to see 80 rent-a-cops waddling around from that private company with the walkie-talkies that have their uniform almost exactly like CPD's and when something does happen, they are no where to be found. I'd love to know who was able to weasel that contract!

In Chicago we don't "Rob Peter to Pay Paul" , we "Rub Peters to Payoff Paulie".

If you really have 40 years on, nothing personal but YOU'RE MUSH!
Are you kidding? This must be an SCC punk'd episode! We are running cars on midnights 1 man,downing cars on all watches and now this! Looks like the blood in the streets obviously does not matter! My district is by the airport,and the rare occasion (maybe 1X every 2 years) we are called to help we are there! Can the airport 80 respond to the district units when we call a 10-1? The answer is NO! What kind of thinking is that where the airport is more important than all the people being shot-killed-officers needing assistance-Michigan ave and the beaches being attacked by roaming bands of savages?
Take the 80+ and put them in districts where they are needed! Hey media are you listening? Marky mark and the funky bunch what say you??
This is because the Feds found out the city was diverting money that they send for police officers assigned to the airport. The same thing has happended with the Aviation Police.
Also, they are sniffing around the fire dept too.
Daley & company has been using the airports for their personal piggy bank for a long time.
If the mayor ever finds out the millions they have lost thru incompetance, he might have the big one!!
Why the fuck would you have 40 years on the job? Are you soft as puppy shit? Wait, that's not a question but a statement of fact!!
I'm not saying they probably don't have a manpower shortage at the airport, but I would love to see how Shortshanks is going to tell the citizens of shitcago how this is going to help in the crime fighting strategy in the city.
Tuesday October 5th is the deadline to register to vote in the November 2, 2010 General Election. Are you registered to vote? Are all your family members registered? Are all your friends registered? What are you doing to encourage them to register?
Nothing to see here . . . . those bodies are not coming from patrol. they come from reverends, aldercreatures, and carrothers. all previous inside spots that were redundant to begin with so it's just another shuffle of useless people in useless spots that are being moved to the very unimportant spot at the airport where nothing happens (forget that stuff that already has happened). . . . don't cross the yellow caution tape. . . . move along.
Let me guess, aviation security officers aren't good enough. We need to take manpower off the streets where the real warzone is???
Good move.
I’m retiring in 5 months and I'm bidding.
Also, 30 less officers that got promoted to Sergeant!
Oh four Gawd, just don't take anymore bodies from the Entertainment Detail.
Where the hell is Homeland Security? Where is Chicago's Aviation Police. Oh I'm sorry, there not allowed to carry guns or act upon anything. We have real idiots running this city, county, state and the USA, hopefully this will turnaround in November.
Gee...do you think there will be any bids??? The airports historically have been full of clout babies, and whack-job bosses who dont like a working regular PO. Remember...None of the Supervisors there are there by bid! Not one! People are regularly transferred in by "management". And the ones that are there are so afraid of losing their "posistion" that they will stab anybody in the back. There is no honor among theives...This is a den of vipers who attack their own kind.
Be careful what you ask for...You will then be stuck at the airport. FYI......
Daley is doomed? We can only hope that is so!
If it doesn't happen now, I doubt we'll ever see it happen. So much anti-incumbent, anti-democrat venom floating around that there will never be a better time.
With all the crap floating to the top of the septic tank that is Shitcago, he could well choke to death on it all.
Cool, I will like working the airport. It should be fun.
Honan square has a full time cop selling t-shirts at the guard shack. What a total joke

40 years is more common now than you might realize. How many officers who were hired 1970-75 are still around? Why retired and miss all of this fun!
True meaning of "Submit a Resume"-
Dont Bother, You havent gotta chance or Have your clout call me.
Officer interviewing for one of the 80 spots: Boss, I have 19 and a half years, worked Zone 10 for 14 of the 19 years.
Boss responds: Officer, send me a copy of your resume, and thanks for your interest, OH by the way- Whats Zone 10?

Uh, yeah; like I want light-duty people, unable to run or wrestle somebody, as my front-door security. You're soft; FULL duty at the entry of that building is critical if everything goes to shit.
40 from bid process, 40 from Headquarters. Then, 40
from patrol districts to fill the void at HQ. Another 5-10
retire from Airports, again another mgmt. backfill, so in reality, it's just around 15-20 from bid.
The offer of a bid position is not a gaurantee of future employment. This offer is open to all bagaining members, void when legitamate. One PAR per member, per bid period, management has the right to rescind the offer when the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of insider phone calls. Exempt members and their families are encouraged to apply, however only 2 requests may be honored per period. For further assistance please consult The Office of Predicted Analytics for an accurate forecast of your chances.
GottaRun.
hey knucklehead, aviation police is retired 60 and over, and young political hacks, wake up we need FULL DUTY EXPERIENCED POLICE OFFICERS out there.
"We know that O'Hare is running midnights with one single officer some evenings."
I'm speechless. There used to be more coverage than that at the old Greyhound station downtown...
Mayor Daley's "Potemkin Village" -- all cardboard cutouts and phony trees stuck in the ground and plastic lamp posts that only look like substantial iron.
Push, and it falls over.
have 40 yrs otj. Think Ill make the bid to Ohare????

in response to 8/25/2010 09:11:00 AM, no, you are mush and have most likely been your entire life, sxxx for brains. no real man trashes a real man w. years. get back in your playpen. wawawawa. and GOD BLESS the Officer who has put up with all of this for 40 years. you-8/25/2010 09:11:00 AM-arrogant tool, will never ever make it. you made this clear by your disrespect for EXPERIENCE. you will be 1 and gone, most likely. so bored about you already. yawn
to those w. experience/years-especially military/Nam-by all means, BID! elite/cream of crop/under wraps. if record serves you-most likely best potential for ORD vs. young recruits, w. all due respect.
40 yrs on the job? Please retire & enjoy life away from this crazy place!!!

Word is that the state is trying to approve retirement eligibility age at 63. That means if you came on the job in your early 20's you would likely pay close to $100,000 more into your pension before ever seeing a cent. Also those who are already retired will not receive cost of living raises. We are screwed because they wasted the money and didn't do the right thing when times were good. If you have 20 years on now and you are in your 40's, that will mean working another 20 years. This is terrible.

Make up your freaking mind, they have civilian guards at OEMC so an officer doesnt have to it there thus freeing someone up for the street, and u beef about that. Jackass!!!
Let me a simple man understand this "80" number! You mean to tell me coppers are screaming for help, people are getting shot in the killing fields of Chicago,and "80" to the airports! Who is running this Dept Pep Boys Manny Moe and Jack? like jody mikey brust? What brain trust thought of this? You want to know something no matter what happens with budget and ideas Cline (Say what you want he was the real police), would go directly to daley and tell him what a boneheaded move his people tried on CPD, does jody ever stand up? Or is he just daleys lapdog??
Remember...None of the Supervisors there are there by bid! Not one!
No, you are wrong, bucko. There was 5 sergeants out there who bid in. Now there is only 4, since Hiram's sister retired. I'll give you some hints, D.S., Spike, the overtime king: D.K. , and some white guy whose name escapes me. The last time there was a bid, it was scooped up by Carmen who was already detailed there. Before that, Spike and the other guy got the the bid spots with seniority from 1991 as a sergeant.
too many cementheads on this job who are soooo dumb that they fail to realize that they can make more sitting at home than going to work--- retire and no more paying into pension, deferred comp, or medical equals more money on your check than you are making now--- some guys are just stupid--- maybe they are worried that they will drink themselves to death or the old lady will drive them nuts--- maybe the thought of paying full price for dinner is a deterrent--- retire and enjoy life, fuck the job----
When will we be able to bid for the airport? what is the date?
